CATHOLIC SCHOOL'S EXPANSION APPROVED

St. Gregory Catholic School's plans for expansion have been given the go-ahead by Plantation city officials.

The school, at 200 N. University Drive, Plantation, plans to replace its two one-story buildings with a single, two-story building.

The project, expected to cost about $4 million, will more than double the school space to about 52,000 square feet, according to the plans. The school has kindergarten through eighth-grade classes. With additional space, enrollment could increase from about 600 students to 1,058. The new building will have nine additional classrooms for a total of 27, a gymnasium/auditorium and improved media center, computer room and art studio.
